Re: City of Naples City Manager Position Opening.

Dear Mr. Baenziger,

I understand that you are looking for an outstanding city manager with exceptional executive experience that is friendly, upbeat, outgoing, and organized – well look no further! I’m writing in response to the City Manager position that has recently opened for the City of Naples. Becoming Naples City Manager would allow me the chance to utilize my 21 years of municipal experience and advanced education in leading Naples through its sensitive and complex projects that a vibrant community experiences.

My family and I have made the decision to relocate to Gulf side Florida to enjoy a lifestyle that bests meets our interests. I feel that Naples would be a perfect size city for me to continue my career while enjoying Naples magnificent weather, diverse recreational opportunities, and beautiful schools and neighborhoods. While working as a city administrator for the past eight years and as an assistant to the city administrator for over six years before that for one of the fastest growing cities in Minnesota, I understand what it takes to work with and lead City Councils, advisory commissions, city leadership team, and community residents and stakeholders. I feel it’s equally important as a community leader to maintain a high level of employee morale and strong community ties with businesses and civic organizations as Menifee strives to achieve the Council’s vision. I have developed a reputation for being ethical above all else, a visionary, flexible and energetic, and possess outstanding judgement and managerial skills that will prove beneficial in a fast-paced environment like Naples.

I feel that my family and I would be a great fit for the City of Naples and that my experience in leading three progressive cities would allow Naples to continue its growth in attracting and managing new businesses, retail, housing, and parks and entertainment projects. Please find attached a copy of my resume and I look forward to meeting with you and the Napes City Council regarding this outstanding career opportunity.

Sincerely,

Brian J. Anderson

2945 220th Street East, Faribault MN 55021 (m) 651-431-1389 [email protected]

PROFILE To become Naples City Manager utilizing my 21 years of municipal experience, of which 14 years have been directly in an administrative role, and advanced education in skills essential to developing and implementing Naples vision.

EXPERIENCE Interim Finance Director/Controller, Goodhue County 2018-Present I was recently hired by Goodhue County on a contractual basis to fill in their vacant Finance Controller position and to assist with their transition when their Finance Director retires next month. I recently become one of two people authorized to manage and invest the county’s $40m and will oversee the departments of taxation, finance, assessing, elections, and capital planning. I report to the County Administrator and County Board and provide recommendations related to financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting, investments, economic trends, debt management, elections, and proposed legislation. In addition to development, planning, management, and execution of these departments, I also oversee the daily and monthly activities of banking, budgeting, financial reporting, audits, settlements, and some highly complex financial functions in various areas of accounting and finance.

2013- 2017 City Administrator, City of Faribault, MN (pop. 23,351) As the city administrator, I assume the leadership responsibilities of working directly with a seven-member City Council on creating and implementing a $14m general fund budget, city policies and projects, and the new Community Vison 2040. I also work with and guide eight directors known as the leadership team and oversee 120 full-time employees along with an additional 100 employees throughout the summer months. Under my direction, the City of Faribault has had an additional $200m in economic and housing development projects in 2016, some of which involved TIF and tax abatement. In addition, Faribault provides additional services to its residents through its $900k municipal library, $275k aquatic center, and the $140k municipal airport that has recently added a cross-winds runway to expand their services.

Faribault has several advisory boards that I am directly involved with including the planning commission, EDA, HRA, and national Main Street Program. Both the EDA and HRA exercise their ability to levy taxes and implement loans and new programs. In addition, I work closely with the Historic Preservation Commission that provides guidance to over 150 businesses in the historic downtown and 40 buildings on the national historic register. The city has recently reviewed its allotted three percent lodging tax that it contracts with the Chamber on managing for the use of promoting tourism. This past year the City was successful in securing $1.6m in grants for walking and bike trails that connect with Rice County’s regional trail system. I am also guiding the City on implementing a $240,000 compensation program, preparing an economic development working plan, revitalizing the county’s drug task force, implementing a new rental and crime-free program and preparing a five–year financial model that will show the use of the City’s general fund dollars along with its debt service.

2009-2013 City Administrator, City of Newport, MN (pop. 3,534) As the administrator, I was the team leader and performed many duties including routinely advising the City Council, planning commission, EDA, parks board, and the heritage preservation commission. I, along with the Council and staff, prepared a five-year strategic plan and financial management plan that improved Newport’s bond rating four levels. As an administrator of a smaller community I not only served as the administrator but also served as the finance director, economic development director and managed projects with the consulting engineer and planner. This allowed me to turn around their ailing enterprise funds and implement three necessary infrastructure projects totaling $3.2m.

I also implemented an all cash purchase program for its equipment CIP, saving the City $250k over 10 years and secured over $379k in four different grants for the fire department, economic development, and public infrastructure projects. I was successful in collaborating with Washington County in developing a transit station in Newport as part of the Red Rock Corridor. The City was able to partner with the County HRA for this redevelopment project that is also designed to develop 454 housing units along with retail and office space that will increase market value from $4.7m to $53m and will increase tax base from $163,000 to $1.14m. I also worked closely with State Legislators in securing $1.6m in the 2011 State Bonding Bill from the MN DNR for the acquisition of seven homes located on a temporary levee along the River. The overall project will open up and preserve 1,850 feet of new riverfront park and redevelopment property along the Mississippi River.

2003-2009 Assistant to the City Administrator, City of Lakeville, MN (pop. 53,829) As Lakeville’s Assistant to the City Administrator, I attended all Council meetings, prepared Work Session packets and minutes, and assisted in Lakeville’s annual $21m budget process. I am proud to have been heavily involved in Lakeville’s two bus rapid transit projects and appointed as the chair of the newly created Lakeville Ice Arenas Operations and Management Committee which generated over $200,000 of additional revenue in the first six months of my leadership. I also acted as staff liaison to the Telecommunications Commission, served on the League of MN Cities Service Developing Committee, Metropolitan Airport Commission: Noise Oversight Committee, Downtown Redevelopment Task Force, Lakeville’s Telecommunications Taskforce, and Lakeville’s Health Insurance Committee. Additional projects that I was also responsible for included the city’s annual strategic plan, Lakeville legislative agenda, updating the human resource policy manual, numerous code and policy revisions, and Lakeville’s leadership program.

2000-2003 Public Works Technician, City of Woodbury, MN (pop. 49,415) As the Public Works Technician in Woodbury, my daily functions involved assisting in the preparation and administration of the $6.8m public works budget; administering the public works purchasing, property management, and proposals; and drafting public works related reports, ordinances, policies, and letters. In addition, I am proud of developing and implementing a city- wide safety program as a member of the safety committee; strengthening the information systems and geographical information systems which generated additional user stations and increased productivity; and supervising public works and parks staff on special projects.

1996-2000 Utility Maintenance II, City of Lakeville, MN (pop. 43,128) While in Lakeville, I Assisted in the operations of the new $12m water treatment facility, trained in new employees on daily operations, inspected new development projects and future construction plans, maintained all aspects of the collection and distribution system on a daily basis, and acted as the Local 320 Teamsters steward for three years.

Mayor Barnett and City Council City of Naples 8th Street S. Naples, FL 34102

Dear Mayor Barnett and City Council:

Please accept the enclosed copy of my resume for your consideration for the City Manager of Naples position. I believe that my leadership experience and political acumen match the City’s requirements for a new manager to help it navigate the challenges of the next decade.

I have more than thirty years of experience in public service and municipal governance and have served as Chief Executive Officer of three of the nation’s larger police departments with 850 to 3,200 employees, in cities of 390,000 to 620,000 residents. Under my administration, I oversaw more than 15 government buildings and had ancillary responsibilities for tourist entertainment areas, airports, ports, parks, commercial properties, schools, and colleges. I had fiduciary responsibility for organizational budgets ranging from 170 million to half a billion dollars, and achieving significant cost savings and a better return on investment for residents.

To build stronger communities, I led strategic, long-range initiatives focused on raising accountability and ethical standards, lobbying for additional parks, schools, day care and after-school programs, and mentoring younger executives. I also worked with Senators, Congress-people, and state and local legislators to obtain grants and other funding for these measures.

I also served as the interim City Manager for Long Beach, the second largest city in Los Angeles County, during the subprime mortgage crisis with the pending collapse of housing prices. Despite the dramatic reduction in property taxes, I directed the team’s restructuring of the financial plans and presented a balanced budget to the Council that positioned the City for success in the next fiscal year. I made it a priority always to keep the City Mayor and the Council informed.

I have found strong communication skills, teamwork and relationship building, to be vital attributes in leading high-performing innovative teams that persevere through difficult social crisis, troubled financial times, and natural disasters. I have held myself and my teams to the following leadership code:  COURAGE—Exhibiting poise and sound judgement in tough and demanding circumstances, forward- looking, creative, innovative.  COMMITMENT—Instilling team accountability and respect for City leaders; accomplishing their goals without excuses; and providing sound feedback.  COMPASSION—Truly caring for the communities that you serve, and the teams you lead.  HONOR—The nobility of public service.  INTEGRITY—Your word is your bond.  PRIDE—Respect for those who came before you and the shoulders that you stand upon.  CONTINOUS DEVELOPMEMT—Always learning, establishing a strategic approach, in order to position your city and team to win. A leader is judged by how many leaders they help to create. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to the opportunity to come before the Board to discuss the City’s needs and how I may add my skills and experience to the rich tapestry of skills and experience in Naples.

Very truly yours,

Anthony W. Batts, D.P.A.

Colin Baenziger, Principal Colin Baenziger & Associates 2055 South Atlantic Avenue, Suite 504 Daytona Beach Shores, FL 32118

Dear Mr. Baenziger,

This letter and accompanying resume are submitted in candidacy for the Naples, FL, city manager appointment. As an outdoor enthusiast, supporter of the arts and historic preservation, and an environmental advocate and volunteer, the City of Naples is deeply attractive to me on a personal level. Professionally, I am impressed with the City’s fiscal management, planning efforts, and commitment to extraordinary quality of life. The combination of my personal interests, commitment to service excellence, and professional background make me a great fit for this exceptional opportunity.

From a leadership perspective, persuasion has been a more valuable tool than formal authority throughout my career. I place high value on collaboration and relationship-building, transparency, and ethical, equitable decision-making. Endeavoring to align resource commitments with established goals, I cultivate and maintain an organizational culture supportive of appropriate risk taking with shared accountability for outcomes. My commitment to service excellence is exemplary, and both internal and external communications are central to my success in that regard. Both personally and professionally, I maintain a commitment to diversity and workplace respect, both of which I view as foundational elements for organizational success. I may be observed smiling and engaging residents, acknowledging the presence and efforts of employees at all levels of the organization, or lending a hand when one is not expected, having found through years of successfully working with and through others that building trust is a prerequisite for accomplishing great things. I lead with integrity and a passion for public service.

As the Naples City Manager, I would endeavor to support a collaborative, professional atmosphere that respects, values, and capitalizes on the City of Naples’s natural and cultural heritages while at the same time working in partnership with the community and staff to chart a future course characterized by accountability established through clear goals and metrics to assess progress.

I presently serve the Village of Scarsdale, NY, an affluent, well-educated New York City suburb of 17,193 civic-minded residents who are active in community affairs and local governance. Prior to Scarsdale, I was fortunate to have served in Oak Park, IL, a Chicago suburb of approximately 52,000 residents that is nationally recognized for its inclusive culture, commitments to sustainability, and its historic architecture. Based in part on these experiences, I am prepared to assume a highly accessible and effective leadership role in supporting City of Naples efforts to maintain its small town feel and look while strategically navigating the “paradox of paradise” represented by the tension between valuing and maintaining historic and current community assets, and change, both planned and non- planned. Key strengths that have enabled my success in active, engaged communities include:

• Effective communications practices, complemented with a sense of humor; • Methods and practices for developing and sustaining service delivery excellence, including application of quality assurance tools and techniques to municipal operations; • Extensive local and regional land use and transportation planning, including associated intergovernmental and legislative roles and responsibilities; • Performance management, including incorporation of metrics and targets into planning endeavors and annual budgeting; • Grant writing and management, including federal, state, and philanthropic funding sources; • Outstanding research, analysis, and reporting capabilities; and • Major project management and oversight.

In closing, I invite you to review my resume included herewith and look forward to speaking with you in greater depth about this exceptional opportunity.

Respectfully submitted,

Robert A. Cole

City of Ottawa, Kansas – City Manager – 1993-2001 The City of Ottawa is a full-service City with a population of approximately 12,000 in east central Kansas. Ottawa has a stable financial environment through the revenues of its electrical, water and wastewater municipal services. The downtown area is in a state of flux as some businesses thrive and others come and go. It is home to Ottawa University which provides an important base of college students to its economy. The primary focus of my responsibilities during my tenure was economic development to expand the City’s tax base and population.

City of Chowchilla, California – City Administrator – 1988-1993

The City of Chowchilla, population 7,000(when I was there) is located in the central valley of California about 40 miles north of Fresno. It is an agricultural area consisting of wine vineyards and a variety of nuts and fruit orchards. It is one of only three cities in Madera County. Although a relatively small population was in the city limits, it served as the point of commerce for neighboring unincorporated communities. The City was essentially self-sufficient and provided numerous municipal services. My primary responsibility was to complete two major annexations for the City to control the zoning and development of the properties. One annexation was for industrial purposes and the other was for a golf course surrounded by single family residences. The two annexations more than doubled the size of the town.

This savings helped establish and make payment for the remaining upgrades as well.

PROFESSIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE

City of Hurricane 2005-Present

In my current position as City Manager for the City of Hurricane, West Virginia, I oversee various departments including police, administration, maintenance, street, water, wastewater, storm water, code enforcement, housing inspection and demolition. The city has a population of approximately 7,000 residents and approximately 300 businesses. I oversee a $10 million per year budget with 80 employees. Some of my responsibilities include the oversight and operation of the wastewater and water plants, personnel/human resources, finances, budgeting, forecasting, insurance, equipment, loss prevention, grant writing, and fund raising. I work in unison with many other agencies to provide resources to various residents such as housing rehabilitation, recreation, education, economic and community growth. My goal is to advocate for a stronger community through family and business development by understanding and utilizing all assets to enhance our standard of living. Community benchmarks and objectives are developed to ensure growth and stability throughout the City. Community and economic initiatives are developed to heighten awareness, viability and sustainability in the region.

To quantify my success at the City, the following statistics have been accomplished due to my ability to secure grant funds, financing and refinancing equipment and improvements and to evaluate service related contracts to provide more income to the City:

1. Housing rehabilitation-Over 300 homes have been rehabilitation in the community by securing $160,000 in grant funds, which in turn reinvested more than $2 million to local vendors and residents. Vendors benefitted from the workcamps with all material, supplies and other needs purchased locally. Workers resided in the community from across the United States to fix structural problems for homes across the region. Significant investment has been made to many seniors, low-income and handicapped individuals with the free housing rehabilitation.

2. Grants-Many grants have been secured to purchase equipment and improvements such as energy efficiency, police equipment, computers/laptops and community enhancements. Approximately, $200,000 has been secured for lighting improvements, solar panels, and external insulating finishing system (EIFS). Funding in the amount of $100,000 has been granted for police vests, shotguns, and in-car cameras and computers. Recreation funding was also gained during my tenure with over $1 million provided from various agencies. Various projects include sidewalks ($900,000) and trail development at the city park ($100,000). Ben Newhouse

3. Contractual-What I consider to be one of my greatest accomplishments is the ability to identify, evaluate and resolve service contracts to benefit the City and its workers. Hiring local contractors, vendors and employees has always been a top priority. Coupling with the hiring of local companies and residents, savings were gained by ensuring reliability and maintaining a high level of consistency within the workplace. It is estimated that over $500,000 has been saved by evaluating competitors and price to strengthen the City’s financial status while providing enhanced service for our employees and residents.

4. Financial-Approximately $1 million has been saved by the City by refinancing projects such as Main Street building and improvements, city vehicles and water/wastewater loans/bonds. All financial instruments have been evaluated and restructured to apply to fiscal budgets and garner savings for the City. Many loans were consolidated to give terms that would provide greater flexibility for various departments. Having flexibility is crucial based upon varying revenues and expenses that could be experienced in future years.

5. Community Development-Several projects have been established and completed during my tenure. A few projects that have been significant and been fortunate to obtain grant funding has been the Sprayground ($250,000) and the new bridge ($350,000) that are located at the Hurricane City Park. The sprayground has provided a free water park for children in the community for the past 5 years. Approximately 100,000 children and family members have utilized the sprayground in the past five years. The new bridge was recently constructed to provide a new two-lane access into the city park. A new pedestrian bridge is planned for the Spring of 2017 to accompany the new bridge.

Upper Kanawha Valley Enterprise Community (UKVEC) 1998-2005

After serving as Community Development Specialist with the West Virginia Development Office, I was hired as the Executive Director of the Upper Kanawha Valley Enterprise Community (UKVEC). Our mission was to assist with community and economic development efforts to an area that had a federal poverty rate of 25.1%. Several projects were initiated and completed by the UKVEC, but the development of the business incubator served as a pivotal accomplishment to retain and expand jobs in eastern Kanawha and Fayette Counties. The incubator was a substantial achievement due to its creation of new jobs, community connectivity, and available training space. I attended many trade shows to illustrate West Virginia and attract businesses to the state as well. I worked in conjunction with the West Virginia Development Office, Upper Kanawha Valley Economic Development Corporation, Charleston Area Alliance and the West Virginia University Institute of Technology. This role also offered me the opportunity to rehabilitate 700 homes at no cost for area residents, $1 Home Purchases with Habitat for Humanity and demolition of blighted buildings were some of the other projects our Ben Newhouse

organization worked collaboratively with other non-profits in the area. Some of the other community agencies that I worked with in the Upper Kanawha Valley included Cabin Creek Health Clinic, Starting Points, Kimberly Community Center, Southern Appalachian Labor School, East Bank Community Cupboard, Cabin Creek and Lower Paint Creek Watershed Associations.

Following are some of the funding secured for various projects:

1. Business incubator-$1.5 million was secured for the business incubator in Chelyan that established offices for small businesses, entrepreneurs and other non-profits. Over 50 jobs were provided through the use of the incubator. Various community programs and meeting space were provided from the restoration of the former elementary school into an incubator.

2. Approximately 200 computers were refurbished and distributed to low-income residents to strengthen their family’s technology in their homes for educational attainment. Computers were provided by American Electric Power (AEP) and improved with new software and hardware.

3. Through Group and REACH Workcamps, 700 homes were rehabilitated for an investment of almost $3 million in the Upper Kanawha Valley. Again, the housing rehabilitation was provided at no charge to residents. The initiative behind the many weeks of workcamps was to orient out-of-state visitors with the community with the hope that they would return to West Virginia for tourism or other purposes.

West Virginia Development Office (WVDO) -U.S. Housing and Urban Development (SCBG) (1992-94) -U.S. Department of Energy (1994-96) -Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) (1996-98)

1992-1998

After graduating from West Virginia Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, I worked for the West Virginia Development Office (WVDO) in three divisions. Initially, I started with the Energy Efficiency Office, progressed to the Small Cities Block Grant office, and concluded with the Appalachian Regional Commission. For almost seven years, I was with the West Virginia Development Office. I worked extensively with other economic and community development agencies in many areas of West Virginia. These agencies include public service districts, counties, regional councils, regional development authorities, cities, and businesses. Some of the projects I was involved in included small business expansion, energy efficiency, alternative fuels, infrastructure, education, and health care.

Colin Baenziger & Associates Executive Recruiting 2055 South Atlantic Avenue, Suite 504 Daytona Beach Shores, Florida 32118

Re: City of Naples, Florida City Manager Position

Via Email: [email protected]

Dear Mr. Colin Baenziger & Mr. David Collier:

Please find attached a cover letter and resume for the position of City Manager in Naples, Florida.

I find myself constantly reducing by size and content my cover letter and resume trying to hone in the essentials for this application. Every time I reduce something, I think that I may be leaving out important information relevant to this position.

I would like you to know that my wife and I are from the northeast and intend to relocate, permanently, to the southwest coast of Florida where we have family members. Our intended area is from Sarasota to Naples, in a community on the Gulf of Mexico.

I also know that if I don’t receive an interview, I will not have a chance to compete for this job. I have in the past submitted to your company a cover letter and resume for other positions and never received an interview. There is so much information from my professional experience that simply cannot be explained on just a cover letter and resume. One of the things hard to explain or identify is the level of integrity and ethics that one has, especially in a public sector manager position.

If I am chosen for an interview, you will see that I have navigated many difficult challenges and always maintained my integrity and ethics. I have at times made difficult decisions, but will listen to others and take my time to make the right decision, even if politically unpopular. The most important thing I can tell you, as I have told others, you may not like my answer but you will always know that I will tell you the truth. I believe this trait is well received and respected by others and allows me to continue to be successful wherever I work.

Finally, I would really appreciate your consideration during your review process to compete for this important position for the City of Naples. My wife and I would respectfully request to meet with you to further exhibit my sincere interest in this position and we are willing to make the trip to Florida to do so at our expense.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Pearson

Re: City of Naples, Florida City Manager Position

Via Email: [email protected]

Dear Mr. Colin Baenziger & Mr. David Collier:

I am aware that the City of Naples, Florida position of City Manager is available and I would like to apply for this position.

As you will see from the enclosed resume, I am an achievement-oriented leader and manager with over thirty (30) years’ experience in public safety and government management leadership positions. What it does not show is the emphasis I placed on building a high performance, citizen-friendly organizations. This approach requires establishing an organizational culture with common goals and objectives that everyone has accepted. It is based on encouraging individuals to think for themselves and to act within the parameters of their job descriptions and direction from the leader. It further emphasizes teamwork while developing the entire staff to make decisions appropriate to their work.

What I bring, in addition to this managerial philosophy, is an ability to solve problems rapidly should they occur, to foresee potential problems and implement strategies to avoid them in the future. I also bring the ability to work effectively with people, elected officials, stakeholders and staff. I understand the six (6) challenges and issues specific to the city of Naples and would speak to these at the interview level. I also understand the type of person the city is looking for and will stipulate to moving to the city, serving for at least a decade, and end a career in Naples. I also understand the desire to implement the plans identified, pending adoption. A very important requirement the city listed is “non-use of tobacco products.” I have “never” used any tobacco products in my

2 lifetime, nor has my wife! My opinion is a manager should be setting an example of acceptable behavior.

Specific to this position, I have experience working as the Assistant Town Administrator in Hudson, New Hampshire and Town Manager in Old Orchard Beach, Maine and currently in Plaistow, New Hampshire where I have experience overseeing administration, human resources, collective bargaining agreement negotiations, training, finance, purchasing, payroll, public safety, community development, economic development, building inspectors, code enforcement, insurance, budget creation, grant writing, record keeping and creating a potable water system and enterprise fund.

In Plaistow, in my first year, I have driven a regional effort to import potable water to town to create the first “potable water system.” This effort required collaborations with the State and five (5) other communities to transport via new pipelines through gaps over a 26 mile route. This project has been approved by Governor and Council for $37.3 million. Plaistow is the recipient of $5.9 million dollars in grants. This initiative required me to draft warrant articles for approval by the voter’s, requiring a two-thirds (2/3) majority minimum and we received 77% approval. This is the type of success that is typical of my efforts. At the same time, I finished a capital project of building a new Public Safety Complex, on time and under budget and proposed a “design build” of a new “Public Works Facility” with cash reserves and no bonding over a two year period. I only bring this to your attention because, this is germane to your description of a leader that has a “can do attitude,” is “positive” and is “achievement oriented.” Further, I have achieved the aforementioned successes through being a “visionary,” and using “excellent communication skills.” I also take note of the desired qualities of “high ethical standards,” and “integrity.” I attended over 60 meetings in one year on the potable water project and held four (4) informational meetings with the residents to gain their trust. This is how I can tell you that I understand what it takes to “get things done.”

There is no doubt that the identified challenges and issues in Naples will take a special understanding by a city manager who can lead, manage, multi-task, delegate, mentor, encourage, hold people accountable, meet deadlines and gain the trust of the citizens, employees and elected officials.

I hope that this brief description has explained my experience(s) working as a manager exhibits my knowledge of the functions of a city manager and the duties necessary to carry out this position in Naples, Florida.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Pearson

Dear City Council:

As a visitor of Naples, my desire is to move to the area to be closer to family and friends. After taking a short time away from the public sector to care for a family matter by choice, my desire is to continue to focus on my passion, which is local government.

I offer that the art and science of public administration and the need for a productive work force will always be essential to the population of Naples. I am a professional who has thirty-four years of related experience in community, business, and public administration. Of that, twenty-five years has been in a progressively increased management role and twelve years of direct senior municipal management experience. Through professional experience and education, I bring an up-to-date toolbox of proven skill sets and competencies to excel. I have overseen the development of hundreds of staff and volunteers in both in the public and private sectors and have been successful in large and small organizations alike. Adaptations to technical advances, efficiencies and analytics have allowed me to produce measurable results. These tools will allow me the success in completing the current and future projects in Naples. Being familiar with what is happening in Naples, opportunities do exits that include leveraging existing and new strategies to make a more resilient community.

I have extensive communication and management skills along with a working knowledge of Florida municipal law. I am a trained facilitator and meditator. The tools of strategic management principles with successful experience in personnel management, economic development, municipal accounting practices, collective bargaining and contract administration, all aspects of the budget process, finance forecasting, CIP, finance, procurement, bond markets, policy implementation, strategic planning, zoning, GIS, grant writing and administration, inter-governmental relations, and project management have equipped me with what is needed to succeed. I possess the work ethic and drive to be an effective force to lead Naples into the stronger future it strives for. I consistently present a positive high-profile and professional demeanor, complemented by a positive "can-do" attitude. This allows me to bring diverse groups of people together to work successfully toward the common goal and why I seek the challenge to be your new City Manager.

Your community will benefit from my enthusiasm, collaborative success, and strong instincts that create value. I am motivated and goal-oriented. Additionally, I have a proven ability to deal with stressful situations in a calm, tactful, professional manner. I offer collaborative leadership styles that encourage strong teams to be developed, which become top performers

I welcome the opportunity to elaborate on how I can make a substantial contribution to Naples, and I look forward to talking with you soon. Thank you.

Career Highlights

With over eight years of municipal experience and four years of business ownership experience, I have risen to unique challenges and created opportunities in difficult situations. In every city I have served, I have increased efficiencies to promote new projects and improve relationships with the public. I have implemented established comprehensive plans that were incrementally disregarded over time and just recently completed our community’s first ever strategic plan. I have promoted the local economy by concentrating on our existing business community, who are the largest job creators, as well as implemented quality of life projects. I look forward to working with an organization and community to promote exceptionalism and service to others.

Qualifications • Possess a successful track record of overseeing and completing capital projects on time and under budget. • Committed to providing the highest quality of services and maintain a reputation for effectiveness. • Instills accountability while fostering meaningful relationships with staff and the community, resulting in a higher level of service to citizens. • Maintains a professional relationship with local and state entities to problem solve and work toward common goals. • Finds creative ways and form partnerships to overcome budget constraints and limited personnel. • Experience in: airports, tourism, public works, utilities, building inspection, code enforcement, economic development and planning and zoning.

City Management & Municipal Experience City Manager Whitehouse Texas, (May 2016 – Present)

The City of Whitehouse is a bedroom community southeast of Tyler Texas. I currently work with the city council, staff, community organizations and residents to achieve city priorities while addressing community concerns. I also work with Tyler Economic Development Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, and other stakeholders to build a prosperous community.

• Consistent with implementing budgeting best practices. Like many cities that rely on limited resources, I was challenged to execute a long-term growth plan. I have increased our fund balance from less than six weeks to two months. A plan is now in place to further increase fund balance to four months while reducing the historic reliance on utility revenues.

• Continue to implement creative incentive and abatement agreements. We are currently in the beginning stages of establishing a Economic Development Corporation which should be in place this month. However, without the established EDC we have been able to utilize creative agreements for incentives and property tax abatements to encourage growth and prosperity. • Continue to streamline the permitting process and improve relationships with developers. The creation of flow charts and forms for staff and contractors allows a better understanding of our permitting process. By outsourcing professional building inspections, our expectations were met by establishing consistency and an open for business attitude that encourages developers to take a second look at Whitehouse. This resulted in increased activity that had been lagging over the past 20 years. Developers now have a clear understanding that we are committed to mutual success that will allow our community to grow. • Continue to identify street and storm-water infrastructure needs. We implemented a Capital Improvement Program to address the needs of our damaged infrastructure that had been neglected over time. Prior to my arrival, a major storm flooded our community causing close to a million dollars in damage and exposed our aged infrastructure. I worked with FEMA to provide relief for our residents while presenting a plan to council to address infrastructure. Funding was secured by street and storm-water fees and the issuance of CO’s. • Worked to establish the City of Whitehouse’s first credit rating of A+. This goal was made possible by establishing budgeting best practices and passing a Charter Amendment to abolish a 5% cap on allowable fund balance. • Continue to improve staff morale and city perception. The City of Whitehouse did not provide a consistent path to success for its employees. To address the issue, I established a merit-based pay scale which allows employees to set goals which improved morale in the organization while creating a trusting work environment between the City Manager and staff. Results show that employees with clear goals increase work efficiency and provide the best level of customer service to our residents. This also improved our relationships with the community which was imperative to rebuilding our public image. • Continue to create new partnerships while working within the constraints of our current budget. We transitioned from the YMCA to a local nonprofit to operate the city recreational facility, eliminating an annual $40,000 subsidy while increasing services to our citizens in a newly remodeled facility. I continue to seek out new partnerships that benefit the City of Whitehouse.

City Manager Ogallala Nebraska, (August 2013 – April 2016)

The City of Ogallala is truly unique. From the vast white sand beaches of Lake McConaughey to its western heritage of the Oregon, Mormon and Texas Trails. The city was a stop on the Pony Express and later along the transcontinental railroad. The Ogallala Aquifer was also named after the city. During my tenure I was able to accomplish significant projects that helped to move the city in a positive direction poised for growth.

• Established a capital equipment and capital improvement plan. Prior to my arrival, the City of Ogallala did not have a capital plan in place. While working within the constraints of our budget, I was able to prioritize spending and build a maintenance program. We utilized base maps to determine the conditions of streets and prioritize repairs and replacement. • Established cost effective snow removal practices. Ogallala accumulates 30+ inches of snowfall per year. With average high temperatures in the 20s during our winter months, snow did not dissipate quickly making snow removal critical. I executed the snow removal plan in place while improving community relations and educating the public on snow routes and expectations. • Collaborated with the Economic Development Organization (The Community Redevelopment Authority). I worked closely with this organization to identify the needs of our diverse, rural community to develop single family housing units, develop the interstate corridor and recruit an anchor retailer to the community. Wal-Mart opened their doors in the spring of 2015 which boosted our sales tax bases as we were a hub city that included a trade area into northeast Colorado. Tax Increment Financing was our primary incentive tool. • Implemented the downtown streetscape project. I oversaw this vital project which replaced aging infrastructure that included storm water, sewer, water mains and streets. I worked in partnership with the Development District to secure funding and ensure that CDBG guidelines were followed. • Secured water rights. The City of Ogallala did not possess enough wells to sustain our long-term needs. I secured and utilized state revolving loan funds to build a new well and increase storage capacity. • Partnered with the Development District. We worked together to carry out housing rehabilitation projects and act as the nuisance abatement agent. • Utilized federal matching funds. These funds were essential to carry out airport improvements as part of the Airport Master Plan.

City Manager & Economic Development Director Tulia Texas, (August 2011 - August 2013)

The City of Tulia is a full-service community situated 70 miles north of Lubbock. Tulia is home of Kenneth Wyatt who has long been one of the country's premier artists of western paintings. I worked with the City Council and the Economic Development Corporation Board to improve economic prosperity and the communities’ overall quality of life.

• Established proactive code enforcement and professional building inspections. The City of Tulia did not have these provisions in place prior to my arrival. I contracted out building inspections and hired an effective code enforcement officer to begin the process of abating nuisance properties. • Improved transparency and communication with our citizens. In August 2012, we launched the city’s first website. Citizens were given the ability to access important city information and a pathway to communicate more easily with staff and council. • Promoted our local economy. I contracted with small business coaching consultants to provide consulting services to local businesses and entrepreneurs. Retail studies were also used to provide tools for retailers to better understand their customers. • Established lasting partnerships. In the fall of 2011, I approached the YMCA of Plainview to explore the possibility of opening a satellite facility. The Tulia YMCA had its grand opening in September 2013 and has since expanded their programs to include youth sports programs. • Provided a path of success for city employees. The City of Tulia did not provide a consistent path to success for its employees. I established a pay scale and a merit-based job review system. This resulted in improved morale, a more trusting work environment between the staff and management and employee longevity.

Assistant to the City Manager Alliance Nebraska (June 2009 – April 2011)

The City of Alliance is located on a major route to the Black Hills and Mt. Rushmore. Alliance is also home to Carhenge, which draws over 80,000 visitors a year. In Alliance, I had the pleasure of working with the City Manager and other staff members to improve our community. During transition in the organization, I also served as the Interim Finance Director and Interim Community Development Director.

• Served as the Budget Officer. Alliance is a full-service community with a 23 million- dollar budget. In addition, I also oversaw the marketing and branding fund and assisted with grant writing and research projects. • Utilized creative economic development tools. I worked with LinPepCo and West Plains Grain to explore annexation and TIF options to determine what types of incentives would most benefit each company and the community. • Developed a tourism campaign. I was responsible for developing a tourism campaign at the municipal level that eventually led to the creation of a tourism office. • Provided leadership through difficult transition. During my tenure, Alliance experienced a difficult transition that included the resignation of multiple upper management employees. I used this opportunity to assist staff and provide stability to the organization.

Other Professional Experience and Internships Owner, Chem-Dry of Midland-Odessa Odessa Texas, (May 2005 – May 2009)

Chem-Dry is the world’s largest carpet and upholstery cleaning company. As franchise owners, my wife and I oversaw day to day operations such as budgeting, customer service, and new customer acquisitions.

• Increased sales and expanded the operation to include several new counties by using the best equipment and providing the best possible customer service. When we purchased the franchises, the customer base was shrinking, sales were slipping, and the equipment was antiquated. In a short time, we increased sales and expanded the operation • Implemented marketing strategies as this was a key component missing from the company before we acquired the franchises. We further improve our market share by creating efficient marketing and promotional materials.

Mr. Colin Baenziger Colin Baenziger & Associates 2055 South Atlantic Avenue, Suite 504 Daytona Beach Shores, FL 32118 [email protected] Re: Naples, FL City Manager’s position

Dear Mr. Baenziger:

Your consideration of my qualifications for the position of City Manager for Naples, FL would be greatly appreciated. As a former county administrator and city manager, my strengths include being organized, public management, aviation, human resources, intergovernmental relations, public relations, negotiating contracts, economic development, finance and budgeting. My leadership qualities include having a transparent, collaborative and team oriented management style. A friend, former Collier County Sheriff Don Hunter, told me about the job opportunity and suggested that I apply. Also, my wife is from Naples, and would like to return.

I found my niche serving as a “crisis manager” in some of the more interesting places in the country, managing cities and counties where they did not want to keep managers and in which other managers did not want to work. As a “crisis manager”, I went into the localities, created teamwork, fixed their problems and moved on to the next place. I have worked in highly diversified environments and helped bring one municipality from near bankruptcy to a bond rating of “A3”. Having managed diverse urban, suburban, rural, tourist, historical, mountain, and desert local governments, I take pride in getting the job done on time and within budget.

My credentials include an MBA in Business Administration and Finance, a BS in Business and Law, and executive level management experience as a City Manager and County Administrator. During 2015, after 36 years, ICMA awarded me “Life Member” status. My 30 years’ management experience includes supervising all city and county department heads, and a state agency department, preparing budgets, managing personnel, obtaining economic development, and solving complex problems. I have broad experience in human resource management and a solid record of obtaining economic development.

My community involvement includes having served as an Advisor to Planning Commissions and Economic Development Authorities and Board Member on two Chambers of Commerce. My experience includes managing up to 12 department heads and 366 employees. I prepared state, city and county budgets up to $45 million, and served as Personnel Director, Finance Director and Economic Development Director.

Re: City Manager- City of Naples

Dear Mr. Baenziger

I am pleased to submit the enclosed application for the City Manager position currently available with the City of Naples. My executive leadership experience, business acumen and strong history of leading, influencing and implementing policies and programs in a large municipality make me an excellent candidate for this position.

I have over 10 years of executive leadership experience conducting programmatic and budget oversight and directly managing a local municipal agency. I have demonstrated expertise developing, preparing, executing and managing complex operating and capital budgets for both the legislative and executive branches of the District of Columbia government. I gained legislative budget formulation expertise as Deputy Committee Director/Policy Director of the Council of the District of Columbia’s Committee on Health. I developed the fiscal year 2006, 2007, and 2008 operating and capital budgets of the Department of Health, and utilized the legislative budget process to plan, direct and coordinate the agency’s $1.9 billion budget to support the policy initiatives of the Committee on Health, Executive Office of the Mayor and other stakeholders. I also learned how to successfully formulate, justify and execute operating and capital budgets within the executive branch of the District as Administrator of the Department of Health, Addiction Prevention and Recovery Administration (APRA).

During my four-year tenure with APRA I realigned the agency, modernized its data infrastructure, improved contract management and oversight of vendors, and competitively secured over $34 million in federal grants. I achieved APRA’s organizational congruence with its mission and core functions by strengthening its business operations and processes, improving its operating efficiency, and developing its infrastructure. These changes significantly increased the volume of services delivered and enabled the agency to establish stronger systems of accountability to monitor and improve service quality. The strength of my candidacy is direct management and operations experience, leading and implementing organizational change, and adopting changes in business process and practices to improve the function and fiscal health of organizations.

I have a strong history of leading, influencing and implementing policies and programs in the District of Columbia. Working with the Council of the District of Columbia required that I demonstrate topic versatility and the ability to analyze and develop policy recommendations for complicated issues in a fast- paced environment. I served as a trusted resource for other Council offices and the Executive Office of the Mayor while maintaining strong working and personal relationships with colleagues. My experience

as both a policy maker and implementer provides me with a nuanced understanding of the challenge of translating policy and regulatory requirements into practice.

I have expert knowledge of the council-manager structure and the capacity to navigate its processes for maximum impact. I am a skilled cross-discipline communicator and I effectively communicate with regulators, legal counsel, legislators, policy-makers and advocates. I am adept at presenting complex concepts clearly and concisely, developing high level briefings and presentations, and synthesizing information to develop recommendations for action.

I am excited about the opportunity to work with the City of Naples. I have a genuine affinity for working in team-based environments, nurturing the talents and capabilities of team members, and coaching staff to achieve excellence. I believe that I have the experience, skills and leadership acumen to make a significant contribution to the City of Naples. It is my hope that after your review of my resume and qualifications, I will be strongly considered for the City Manager position.

Sincerely,

Tori L. Fernandez Whitney

Greetings,

I have a passion for people. I believe that communities, governments and organizations who practice inclusivity and diversity as an integral part of their sustainability, operational and strategic plan offer the strongest, most innovative and progressive environments. The future of all progressive entities are greatly impacted when inclusion and diversity is embraced and practiced. As a Contracts Manager & Coordinator over the past 12 years, I have had accountability for the coordination, implementation, and management of over 154 million dollars in public sector contracts, budgets, agreements and projects annually. During this time, I have developed a solid reputation for managing numerous concurrent contracts, agreements and projects through all phases; from beginning through conclusion of each fiscal year within targeted cost, on schedule, and within compliance parameters. Currently, I serve as an Agreements Manager with the Illinois Department of Transportation, in the Bureau of Design and Environment (D &E).

I am an analytical, insightful, and a highly-disciplined problem solver with demonstrated ability to provide quality leadership that invokes committed professional participation and mutually respectful relationships. I have developed and sustained exceptional contacts and networks and have earned the respect of a wide variety of stakeholders, staff, co-workers, senior managers, and clients. My management style is Sophisticated Modern Consultative (SMC). In this style of management employees are regarded as assets (human capital) and management seeks to maximize employee identification with the aims of the organization. Encouraging a personal interest in the success of the entity as a whole improves the focus of the mission through individual dedication. The SMC management style reflects a less formal, more flexible approach to employee relations. The SMC style utilizes employee participation in decision making and is encouraged through routine recognition, problem-solving mechanisms and direct two-way communication.

I believe leadership and management training should evolve from a strategic plan. If organizations implement training or development into the strategic goals, then it is reasonable to assume that among those topics presented, a new leadership initiative is likely to emerge. I want to be a part of the effort that brings about the emergence of a new or revised leadership initiative to positively impact this community. I am also intending to experience a level of professional development to implement in my current and future workplace. Some organizations create frameworks; competency training and guidance intended to help employees expand their perception of events beyond their specified position duties or jobs. While this process is both important and valuable, because it facilitates growth and progress towards more responsibility and hopefully more pay and benefits, it is important to recognize that training and frameworks are important components of the entire learning experience.

The areas of great interest to me are the development, diversity and community engagement of leadership and the public. The importance of development is to make certain that leaders remain responsible and accountable for their influence in their places business and in the community. Leadership development is about putting people into situations that expand their view, test their common processes and challenge their assumptions. Development can also promote public awareness and growth. These development processes prepare participants for events that they may or may not have direct experience with in their general capacity prior. This development effort is important to ensure the participants are prepared for future responsibilities as civically engaged persons. Community development can address a variety of public education, social and economic issues through training, skills assessment, strategic improvement planning and application.

I believe best practices standards for development and implementation of affective diversity efforts in a community are to promote research methodologies of inclusion and public awareness. Building partnerships with existing public service entities to enact current best practices for the implementation of social justice at all times and when faced with public adversity. Diversity development is an excellent opportunity to practice social diversity initiatives and sensitivity response training. Development of funding opportunities to make this practice possible could be addressed through federal, local and state grants and agreements. Diversity initiatives can be facilitated through the organization of services of existing employers, community groups and leadership entities. Some diversity issues can be addressed through community representation and leadership, employment, small business and positive economic development implementation. The goal of diversity is to improve the overall dynamic, improve social balance in the economy and promote proactive approaches to issues that address the underlying causes.

I align my efforts with others in that area of expertise with whom I can assist, and work with to gain first hand understandings of the process in practice. Opportunities for mentoring, community engagement projects, and internships are all very useful tools to help gain direct experience on areas of practice in structured and welcoming environments. Finally, I work to apply the learned information and experiences into the practices I routinely perform in order to make or improve effectiveness and efficiency processes in the workplace. This step can be more difficult than the others due to the fact that implementation of new practices requires time for a complete operational cycle of trial and error. A full cycle is necessary to effectively assess impact and adjust accordingly to a specific situation. If senior and middle management in an organization support improved and informed employees, forward thinkers and a responsive workplace they will openly support leadership efforts.

This learning process helped me identify strong leadership and organization skills that I was not fully aware of prior. I now strive for the implementation of informed, improved practices in both personal and professional endeavors. Over the last three years I have become increasingly involved in community engagement opportunities, non-profit organizations, local businesses and volunteering opportunities. I have created structured opportunities for others to become engaged with leadership. I seek to improve the functionality, structure and productivity of any organization I work within or provide services for. Having the specific experience in completion of this program will establish an affective and transitional achievement in two very important professional and personal points of interest for me. Community engagement and leadership are areas that I invest in; and as a community leader I am constantly seeking to improve my professional leadership experiences through collaborative projects that support and benefit the community. Within organizations, including the agency for which I work leadership is almost none existent. The propensity for dysfunctional employee management often creates the occurrence of functional silos within organizations which make management and leadership frameworks not only problematic, but in many cases and more often than not, perplexing.

It's been my experience that this situation can be found in organizational frameworks that not only provide different emphasis, but perhaps even a different definition of leadership as management and a static focus on functional hierarchy verses growth and functional fluidity. Functional fluidity is a practice in proactive organization actions that up hold policy and procedure while providing a humanistic implementation approach through implied flexibility for the static interpretation of standard governance. For organizations to create effective guidance to navigate existing organizational impeding structures and silos progressive frameworks are required. Through teamwork, collaboration, negotiation and prioritization a comprehensive, sensible and cohesive policy and practice will emerge eliminating conflicting ideas, providing focus on what really matters and clarify accountability efforts in the workplace. Through engagement in the doctorate program I hope to sharpen my skills not only as an active community leader but, a leader in the professional workplace as well.

I use interpersonal skills including non-verbal communications, listening skills and clarification to assist with daily tasks. I also, use clarity of speech, practice remaining calm, focused, being polite and following some basic rules of etiquette; coupled with mild humor as my own personal style of verbal communication. Specifically, I rely on verbal communication to perform expedited processes and as an alternative method of communication for written communication. I believe in and foster the practice of vendor, agency and community partnerships; composed of dedicated and collaborative team members. Dedicated members are crucial to the facilitation of consistent and successful project initiatives. I provide additional support through the creation of troubleshooting strategies as proactive solutions to issues that may inhibit forward progress of the collaborative group. One such strategy breaks down a large issue into smaller, more manageable parts assigned to groups within the collective to solve independently. When implemented successfully this practice solves both the superficial problem and the general issue. This practice also addresses the underlying issue of implementing affective collaboration processes when all groups are brought back together with the final resolution.
